Hey, that's one impressive Backend (no innuendo intended!).

Would you give us a few more details?  Specifically, which case are
you using that allows seven hard drives?  I finally settled on the
Antec SLK3000B, because it has no power supply but has a very nice
cage for five hard drives.  The cage is easily removed/replaced with
only the SATA signal and power cables having to be disconnected.  No
other components get in the way of the cage.

Thanks.
